3D Speed and Distance You can set 3D speed and distance to calculate your speed or distance using both your elevation change and your horizontal movement over ground. You can use it during activities such as skiing, climbing, navigating, hiking, running, or biking. Using Auto Scroll You can use the auto scroll feature to cycle through all of the activity data screens automatically while the timer is running. 1 Hold UP. 2 Select Settings > Apps. 3 Select an activity. NOTE: This feature is not available for all activities. 4 Select Auto Scroll. 5 Select a display speed. UltraTrac The UltraTrac feature is a GPS setting that records track points and sensor data less frequently. Enabling the UltraTrac feature increases battery life but decreases the quality of recorded activities. You should use the UltraTrac feature for activities that demand longer battery life and for which frequent sensor data updates are less important. Power Save Timeout Settings The timeout settings affect how long your device stays in training mode, for example, when you are waiting for a race to start. Hold UP, select Settings > Apps, and select an activity. Select Power Save to adjust the timeout settings for the activity. Normal: Sets the device to enter low-power watch mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. Extended: Sets the device to enter low-power watch mode after 25 minutes of inactivity.
